Decorating that finishes the job — properly.

The trades that came before set the structure. The decorator sets the impression. Our directly employed decorators handle interior and exterior work across commercial sites, social housing programmes, and heritage properties — including conservation-grade paints and finishes for listed buildings.

  • Interior decorating — single rooms to full property programmes
  • Exterior decorating — facades, woodwork, metalwork
  • Commercial decorating schedules — scheduled refreshes for offices, retail, hospitality
  • Social housing programmes — full void redecoration, planned cyclical
  • Heritage and conservation finishes — breathable paints, traditional finishes, lime washes
  • Specialist coatings — anti-graffiti, anti-bacterial (NHS environments), fire-rated
Heritage & conservation

The right paint for the wall underneath.

Listed buildings often need specific paints — modern emulsion can damage lime plaster underneath by trapping moisture. Our heritage decorators know:

  • Which breathable paints to use on lime plaster
  • Limewash, distemper, and traditional finishes
  • Heritage colour matching — Farrow & Ball Colours of England, Little Greene heritage range, and more
  • Working under Listed Building Consent rules
